Yes, it is possible to create a frame by frame animation that is activated while scrolling down in Webflow. This can be achieved by using the Webflow interactions feature. Here's how you can do it:

  1. Add a new section to your Webflow project where you want the animation to appear.
  2. Inside that section, add a new div block element. This will be the container for your animation.
  3. Inside the div block, add multiple div blocks or image elements, each representing a frame of your animation.
  4. Set the position of the div blocks or image elements to absolute, and position them where you want them to appear in each frame.
  5. Enable scroll animation on the section by selecting it and going to the Interactions panel in the right sidebar.
  6. Click on the "+" button next to the "Scroll Trigger" section to add a new scroll trigger.
  7. For the scroll trigger, choose "While scrolling in view". This means that the animation will start playing as soon as the section is in the viewport.
  8. Customize the scroll trigger's animation settings by adjusting the scroll offset, speed, and easing options to achieve the desired effect.
  9. Click on the "+" button next to the "Scroll Action" section to add a new scroll action.
  10. For the scroll action, choose "Affect different element" and select the container div block that contains your animation frames.
  11. Set the animation type to "Translate" and choose the appropriate direction and distance for each frame.
  12. Repeat steps 9-11 for each frame, creating a new scroll action for each frame of your animation.
  13. Preview and test your animation by scrolling through the page. Adjust the settings as needed until you achieve the desired effect.

By following these steps, you can create a frame by frame animation in Webflow that is activated while scrolling down. This can add an engaging and interactive element to your website.

Note: Keep in mind that creating complex animations with many frames can significantly impact page performance and load time. Use this feature judiciously and optimize your images for web to ensure a smooth user experience.
